Creating celebratory and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ Jews and allies

Looking for ways to make your Jewish institution safe and inclusive for LGBTQ Jews, but don’t know where to start? We’re here to help.

For more than 10 years, we’ve trained and supported Jewish educators, clergy, program staff, camp professionals, youth and lay leaders to ensure that LGBTQ youth, families and staff are safe, affirmed and celebrated in all Jewish educational and community settings.

We believe that providing leaders and staff with knowledge, skills, tools and resources is the key to creating long-term sustainable change.

A MUST FOR ANYONE CONCERNED

“What Keshet has created is a must for anyone concerned about making each child feel safe to learn in all of our educational environments. This is not just about LGBT inclusivity — this is reframing the way we look at constructing educational spaces, and should be mandatory for every teacher, educator, counselor and youth worker in the Jewish community.”
